More About This Book

Overview

A debut novel from the bestselling author of Queen Bees and Wannabes!

Charlie Healy just wants a drama-free year, but it doesn't seem like she's going to get it. After surviving a middle school packed with mean girls, Charlie is ready to leave all that behind in high school. But then, on her very first day, she runs into her former best friend, Will, who moved away years ago. Now he's back, he's HOT, and he's popular. And he takes Charlie back into the danger zone of the popular crowd. But when a hazing prank goes wrong, Charlie has to decide where her loyalties lie.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Charlie Healey is attending Harmony Falls High School to escape the drama she faced in middle school. The girls who were supposed to be her best friends were mean and manipulative and it was easiest to leave them behind. While Charlie has a few bumps in her first few days, she quickly finds a new group of good friends. She thrives in her involvement with the school newspaper and in the challenging classes. But she soon discovers that not all is perfect at Harmony Falls. The student body pride relies on a strong sense of tradition. Some are fun, like the floats for the homecoming parade, but others are dangerous. When an old friend gets caught up in hazing rituals for the lacrosse team, Charlie must decide between doing what is right and what is popular. While the story includes subtle lessons about friendship and values, these do not overwhelm the fun and fast-paced narrative. The situations will be familiar to many readers and the characters are engaging, with just enough romantic interest. Young adult books displaying positive relationships with family members, teachers, and peers are in short supply. While the adults are realistically flawed, their interactions are natural and supportive. This is a humorous look at teenage life that explores many of the problems in a straightforward, yet intuitive manner. Reviewer: Jennifer Lehmann

From The Critics
Freshman Charlie discovers she cannot completely outrun her past at a new school when both friends and enemies reappear and especially after observing firsthand a hazing event that almost costs a man his life. For too long, school officials and parents ignored such incidents, preferring a winning lacrosse team to setting standards for behavior off the field. Charlie refuses to back down, even when one of those involved is Will, an old friend and possibly a new romance. Victory in exposing the leaders is bittersweet, but Charlie is finally able to shed her image as a go-along wimp. Characters and situations are authentic for an upper-class, suburban high school. Charlie and company are neither too witty nor wise beyond their years. The actual tragedy occurs near the end of the story despite an implication on the inside cover that it occurs soon after Charlie's arrival at Harmony Falls. On the front, a note from Tina Fey, of all people, hides the faces of Charlie and Will, warning readers not to put the book down or it will talk about them. This reviewer felt that unsuccessful device spoiled a positive first impression, making it one time when readers should not judge a book by its cover. Reviewer: Pam Carlson

    I Also Recommend:

    Such a GREAT READ!

    This was one of the best books ever! When I first saw the cover I fell in love. The whole book is basically about a girl, Charlie, and the major problems going on in her life--her first year in high school, making new friends, standing up to old enemies, and of course, boys. There are several boys Charlie and her friends encounter (Dylan, Will, Tyler, etc.) and they are all wonderfully developed. The only thing I did not like was the ending. It left off on an AMAZING PART! and I was dissapointed there was nothing further atfer that. But hey, maybe there will be a sequel! I can only hope! :D

    A nice look back at the beginning of high school

    This review will be a little different since i have just graduated and moved on from the high school drama, but I really liked this book alot.
    The main character of Charlotte(Charlie) is starting a new high school where she hopes she is leaving the bad karma of her old school and friends behind. But slowly she finds that she can run but she cant hide as players from her past keep dropping into her new start.
    What I like about Charlie is that she takes a brave stand against things that are happening at her new school and she really makes a difference, even for a freshman.
    This is a great gift to any girl who is making the jump this summer from middle school into the high school world. Looking back I totally felt the way Charlie did, I wanted to leave my old school and friends behind, but I found that I couldnt totally get away from everything and you have to face certain people to make a difference.

    review from One Book At A Time http://onebooktime.blogspot.com

    I liked this book, it just felt like the intended audience was a little younger than I was expecting. The main character is a freshman in high school so I'm not sure why I was expecting a little bit more mature YA. I liked Charlie though. She's just learning who she is and how not to let people walk over her. I thought she was very brave for going to a brand new school to try and overcome what happened in the past. She handled herself extremely well for the situations she was put in. She didn't compromise herself to fit in with the "it" crowd. I liked her group of friends. They provided the comic and occasionally the voice of reason. I also felt like they acted their age. I was happy to see her make friends with someone she unintentionally hurt in the past. I did feel it was a little predictable, but not enough to make me feel like putting the book down. It had just enough drama and surprises to keep the story going. I'm intrigued to read the author's book that is the basis for the movie Mean Girls.

    Boys, Girls, and other Hazardous Materials

    This book was great! I love the plot of the story and how it can relate to any teenage girl out there! It has to do with boy drama and girl drama. You can expect a great ending from the book! Read the book to find out if Will and Charlie end up together after all.

    A let down

    I wanted to read this book because of the interesting cover, however, from front to cover it let me down. First of all the story is written from the perspective of a freshman and I am a senior, so just ew. Next, it seems like the writer took almost the whole book except about the last ten pages to work up to the plot then solves it within those last ten pages. I guess this book could be great for a freshman, but no one older.

    Terrible Writing Style

    I couldn't really finish this book because the writing was so bad. It sounds like a kid is writing this book trying to sound sophisticated, but failing at it. The plot is okay but unrealistic.
